DEDICATION
The CI™ of 1956 dedicates this edition of The Green Lantern to Mr. and Mrs. Roland W . Burbank
QA Foreword from The Headmaster, oJ%Tr. Farrell This year to start my foreword for "The Green Lantern" I would like to compliment the editorial staff and their adviser, M r . Robert Boyden, for the efficient job they have done. They are a m o n g our unsung heroes because the yearbook is printed and distributed in August, long after school has closed. Unless someone remembers to write to the senior editors, they never k n o w what people feel about their work. M r . Boyden gets only scanty after-thoughts in the fall. I therefore take this opportunity to thank him and the boys for their good work in putting together the 1956 "Green Lantern." T h e Class of 1956 is naturally the center of interest in this yearbook. It has been a good class in every way, and its members can be proud of the record they have made. They have provided good leadership, steadily improved scholarship, and some excellent athletic teams. T h e football and ski teams, under the leadership of seniors, made records that will be a real challenge for succeeding classes. Our very best wishes go with the Class of 1956 as they go on to college. W e hope that the growth toward maturity that has been so plain to see here at Proctor will continue in their college life, and that w e will be equally proud of their records there. I hope that the undergraduates will treasure these "Green Lanterns" even though they were not leaders in the m a n y activities pictured. In years to come they will be able to see clearly their o w n growth in stature and in maturity, as well as to see the faces of old friends and teachers. I occasionally pull out m y old "Prep" school and college yearbooks and browse through them with m u c h pleasure. Each one of these will be a landmark for you. Another of the unsung heroes of the yearbook is Frank Poblenz, our official school photographer. Anyone familiar with group pictures will give testimony for the good quality of his work. Anyone w h o has watched the speed with which he works admires doubly the excellent pictures he takes. H e has done our work for so long n o w that he seems like another faculty m e m b e r and a good friend coming in to enjoy a day with us, rather than a professional photographer doing a job.

In thefirstg a m e on September 30 the Big Green beat the Vermont Academy J.V.'s, to break Vermont's nineteen g a m e winning streak, 9-0. T h e g a m e was played through a steady drizzle. Proctor scored a safety after Sandy Weld, with a beautiful punt, had forced V.A. to put the ball in play on their one yard line. In the third quarter W e l d scored a touchdown, and Vern Harris passed to his end, S a m Adriance, for the extra point. Proctor was hurt mainly by 150 yards of penalties, but the defense was especially strong. T h e team then journeyed to N e w H a m p t o n and chalked up its second victory, 20-0, with little effort. Proctor's defense was extremely strong and steady, holding N e w H a m p t o n to no first downs. T h e touchdowns were scored by Harris, Stewart, and Butler, the last one on a forward pass from Stewart. Adriance and Sawyer trapped a N e w H a m p t o n m a n behind the goal for a safety and two more points. At Home-coming Week-end Proctor and Brooks battled to a scoreless tie on a rainsoaked field before a large crowd of alumni and parents. Late in the g a m e Proctor's defense stiffened w h e n Brooks,firstd o w n and goal to go, was repeatedly stopped. Brooks had a line averaging 190 pounds and a team composed mainly of lettermen. Proctor relied on a shifty backfield and a smaller but fast line. Proctor then journeyed out of the country to play its international friends at Westmount High School in Montreal. Each year the boys enjoy the Canadian hospitality. This year was especially enjoyable, since the team brought h o m e the D o u g Smaill Trophy to ailing Captain Johnson and the School. Proctor, under American rules, scored in thefirstfive minutes of the game, with Gilmore carrying the ball. Both teams threatened several times, but could not score. In the second half, under Canadian rules, Westmount's
superb
running
attack
went over for a touchdown, making the final score 7-5. T h e next week-end Proctor suffered its only loss, 26-0, to an older and more experienced Brewster Academy team. Brewster's scoring was due to the fact that they had extremely fast ends and a back w h o could throw the ball over Proctor's safety man. They could not get anywhere against our hard charging defense except in the air. In the last quarter Proctor carried the ball to Brewster's five yard line, but time ran out. O n November 5 Holderness came over to Andover for the 27th annual game. Gilmore scored for Proctor in the first quarter, but Holderness quickly retaliated by scoring on the next kick-off. W i t h the point after touchdown, Holderness led at half time 7-6. In the last quarter, Proctor went 60 yards with Gilmore carrying over for the touchdown, making the final score 13-7. There was a terrific amount of courage shown on the part of both teams. T h efieldwas wet, and the players were low in the m u d , but high in spirit. Thus closed one of Proctor's most successful seasons. Proctor's fast backfield with Harris, Gilmore, Weld, and Stewart will be back next year. Quarterback Q u i m b y graduates, as do Captain Johnson, center and sparkplug of the line, Spencer Jackson, and S a m Adriance. T h e prospects for next year, led by Captain Harris, appear bright. Under the able coaching of M r . Hatt and Mr. Peter C a m p , the J.V.'s completed a successful season, losing only once, to Tilton J.V.'s 18-13. This team was not going to be outdone by the Varsity. Although young and inexperienced, led by Captain D a n Cook, they did very well. W i t h only seven practice sessions before the first game, the J.V.'s rolled over Laconia High School J.V.'s 21-6. Butler, Foster, and W o o d s scored touchdowns. Foster intercepted a pass in the g a m e with Holderness J.V.'s, scoring the only touchdown. Bunim, Foster, and Crafts ran well for Proctor, and the team well deserved its 7-0 victory. Proctor's last victory was over the N e w H a m p t o n J.V.'s 26-13. Nash, with two, Coues, and B u n i m accounted for the Proctor scores. T h e g a m e was a fitting climax to a good season.

Hockey In the second year of the revival of hockey at Proctor, our team showed great improvement over last season. Also with many freshmen and sophomores on the squad the outlook for next year appears bright. The team played twelve games, winningfive,tying one, and losing six. T w o of the games were lost by a single goal, which shows that our team was not outclassed even if on the losing side. In ourfirstgame on January 18 we took on our old rival Holderness and won with a 5-2 score. Later in the season, on February 8, we played our second game with Holderness. W e played our usual good game, but with an improved Holderness team, w e managed to win but by a 2-1 score. W h e n we played Hanover High School, w e found ourselves up against an experienced and fast team. In our first game on January 27 with Hanover here at Proctor, they outskated and outscored us by a score of 6-0. At the end of the season, on March 3, our team went to Hanover, played them to a stand-still and lost by the close score of 5-4.
exhibition of hockey play. St. Paul's w o n by a score of 7-0, but our boys gained a lot of experience which should help them in future years. Two games with the Tilton Varsity resulted in two losses, 4-1 and 2-1, but the games were well played. Thefirstgame was closer than the score indicated. The team went over to Vermont Academy on February 22 to play their J.V.'s. In this game our boys played exceptionally well and won handily 5-3. The high scorers for the season were Captain Rulon-Miller and Vern Harris, both of w h o m will be available next year. W e shall miss our Seniors on this year's team: our reliable goalie, Toby Farrel, w h o saved the team 187 times; our twofirstline wings, Ned Bradley and Spence Jackson; and our second line center, Sam Adriance.

Skiing Skiing is Proctor's main winter sport and everyone takes part, either on the ski teams or in recreational skiing. W e have for our skiing facilities two rope tows and a smaller portable tow. W e also have a cross country trail, and three jumps: a 15, a 20, and a 30 meter. T h e ski team starts its pre-season training after Thanksgiving by vigorous exercises in the g y m and long cross country runs, some four to six miles. O n thefirstof January, before the rest of the school returns from Christmas vacation, there is a ski camp where the members of the ski team actually get a chance to start their first skiing for the year. T h e ski team is broken d o w n into two teams, the A team and the B team. T h e A team had five meets this year. T h efirstwas with U.N.H. here, which w e w o n . T h e next meet was with Lebanon and only two events were held because of poor conditions. T h e next meet was with three schools, Holderness, Lebanon, and Hanover at Cannon Mountain. W e w o n this meet by a narrow margin. Then Westmount came d o w n here for an enjoyable week-end with a two event meet to top it off. T h e biggest meet of the year was the Interscholastics at Middlebury. W e came up from behind to win the downhill and slalom which gave us a lead of four points at the end of three events. T h e jumping was held the next day, and two of our m e n dropped out because they did not think that they could handle the 50 meter jump under such icy conditions. D u e to these poor jumping conditions w e lost. T h e B team had four meets this year. This year w e are losing three of our top men, Dave Hodgkins and Al Quimby, both of w h o m are Class B skiers, and Carl Parker, a Class A skier. W e can't forget to mention the ski patrol w h o did an excellent job in keeping our slopes safe and
patrolled. There were eight boys on it, all of w h o m have standard first aid cards which they obtained from a class taught by M r . Poulin. T h e eight were: Stan Bullard, Chief; Dave Beck, N e d Bradley, Mike Churchill, D a n Lincoln, Bob Lindquist, Sandy W e l d and George Watson. They were headed by M r . Coolidge and M r . Poulin. The Ski School had a most active and successful season. S n o w conditions were rather poor until late in January so that m u c h of the early winter was spent in trail clearing and in various inclement weather programs. W h e n the snowfinallydid arrive w e had thefinestskiing we've had in several years. M a n y of us skied until the last week in April. M r . Batchelder, M r . Poulin, and M r . Saindon joined the Ski School staff this year and w e are most fortunate in having such able and enthusiastic additions. M r . and Mrs. Farrell were carrying on as usual with m u c h of the fundamental work and their years of teaching experience were, of course, invaluable in providing us with sound "basic training." M r . Hatt sprained his ankle early in the season and unfortunately was unable to teach for the remainder of the season. M r . Coolidge directed the Ski School and continued to keep us up to date on recent developments in teaching and skiing techniques. Most of us graduated from the Stem Christy Class or T o p Class with Bullard and Churchill completing all phases of the T o p Class thereby gaining admission to the Outing Club. T h e highlight of the skiing season is the ski holiday, w h e n the whole school goes off for a day of skiing, held at Mt. Sunapee this year. T h e conditions were rather icy this year, but it was a very enjoyable trip.

Sailing Sailing plays a big part in the athletic program both in the spring and fall. W e had approximately twenty boys out for sailing last fall. W e gave each of the eight boats a quick sanding and then put a coat of paint on them. Because we had only two varsity skippers who had not graduated last year we had to spend the majority of our fall season training new skippers. After going through our "training schedule" under the watchful eyes of the old skippers, Ned Bradley and T o m Sharpless, and Mr. Coolidge, the team coach, several new skippers were added to our varsity team. They are Dave Ross, Jim Floyd, and Joe Lovejoy. W e only sailed in four meets last fall, three of which we lost. The one team we did beat was Schools Sailing Club of Winchester, Mass. Because the ice in Highland Lake where the school boathouse is located did not go out until thefirstweek of May, the spring season was not as long as usual. The last days of April and the earlier days of May were spent in readying the boats to go overboard. This involved varnishing spars, and sanding and painting each of the eight sailboats. Because the twenty-four boys out for sailing during the spring term was an abnormally large number they were divided into two units, each one going to the lake on alternate days. This
gave every boy a chance to work on the boats and to learn the many tricks of the trade of preparing the boats for the water. W e sailed in, and lost,fivemeets during the spring season. The team'sfirstmeet was with Dartmouth Corinthian Yacht Club of North Enfield, N e w Hampshire. The Tabor meet which was held on Saturday, May 12, was the big meet of the spring season. The team left for Tabor, which is located in Marion, Mass., at eight o'clock in the morning and arrived in time for lunch. The meet was held on the bay in front of Tabor. Ned Bradley, team Commodore; T o m Sharpless, and Joe Lovejoy skippered, while Dave Beck, Dyke Tanner, and Skip Clemence crewed. They tried hard, but when the meet was over they found they had lost every race. The other meets held were with Phillips Andover, Schools Sailing Club, and another one with Dartmouth. There is no doubt that the team was inexperienced but we sincerely hope with the lessons it learned this year next year's Commodore, Dave Bliss, will lead it to an undefeated season. And with the help of our capable coach, Mr. Coolidge, and our joyful manager, Doug "President" Taylor, next year's season should be a great success.

Baseball The 1956 baseball team, captained by Allen Quimby, had a successful season, winning four and losing six games. Three of the lost games were very close and hard ones to lose. Thefirstgame was with Holderness. The team had only been outdoors for two days, but went ahead to win the first game 15-12. The infield looked exceptionally good and the hitting was powerful. The second game was with Brewster. It was a well played game, but Proctor had a hard job trying to out-bat the Brewster batters, so that the game ended Brewster 6, Proctor 4. During the game Nick H a m p splintered his thumb, putting him out of practice for two weeks. The following game with Tilton was a close one. Proctor started with a few changes in the infield due to Nick Hamp's injury. DeWitt Woods was starting catcher and Al Quimby was moved to third base. Thefinalscore was Proctor 2, Tilton 1. The Proctor batters again did afinehitting job. O n Friday, May fourth, Proctor played K.U.A. on the Proctorfield.There again "was another close game, but Proctor just couldn't pull through with 2 runs to win it. K.U.A. went home with a 4-3 win. Proctor met its rival Holderness for the second time and again came out on top. Charlie Forsberg pitched a fine game taking his second win over Holderness 8-7. Proctor next journeyed to Brewster. The game was very close up to the 8th inning. Here Proctor suffered a rough inning and Brewster w o n 8-3. O n M a y 12th Proctor played N e w Hampton away. Again the Proctor batters did afinejob of hitting. Nash came home with the win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the team's 4th. The next two games with N e w Hampton and Tilton were lost. Proctor had a pitching difficulty against N e w Hampton
and lost 10-6. Against Tilton our team just wasn't playing together and lost that also, 15-4. The last game with K.U.A. was a tough one to lose. Being the last game we really wanted to bring home the win, but, in the eleventh inning K.U.A. pulled through with the winning run, finishing the season for Proctor. Highlights of the season were: Captain Quimby's batting average of .389; Rulon-Miller, Jones, and Nash all batting over .300; Charlie Forsberg's excellent pitching; Woods playing in all ten games, being at bat 4l times, and striking out just once; Crosbie's coming up from the J.V.'s in the last game, retiring the side when the bases were full and no-one out, and then continuing to pitch well for six more innings; and Hamp's return after his injury, playing in his first game with a metal brace on his thumb and getting three doubles. Much credit should go to Mr. Jack Camp for his excellent coaching and to the team for its fine spirit. Next year, under the leadership of Bill Gilmore, they should be very successful. The J.V.'s, with an undefeated season, the only one as far as we can remember, have reason to be proud of themselves. They amassed 95 runs in their six games, while their opponents scored 21. The J.V.'s beat Holderness twice, 18-5 and 27-2. T w o victories were gained over the N e w Hampton Reserves 10-5 and 10-3. Cardigan Mountain succumbed twice to Proctor, 17-5 and 13-1. Butch Crosbie pitched every game, assisted in a couple by Lathrop. T w o Seniors were on the team: Captain Adriance at third base, a steadyfielderand lead-off batter; Watson in left field, the heaviest batter on the squad. All praise is due to the coaches, Mr. Wright and Mr. Peter Camp, and to the spirit and hustle of the team.

Tennis The first match of the season was against Holderness which they won 5-3. The next two matches Proctor won with comparative ease against N e w Hampton and Vermont Academy. The next two games were with K.U.A., one at Proctor and the other over there. Sandy Weld was elected Captain for this year and ran into a good player from K.U.A. Sandy lost thefirstmatch 6-4, 7-5 and the second 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, but played excellent tennis in both. The next match with Holderness on May 9 was nothing short of a tragedy. W e lost that one 7-1. Dudley Clark was the only one w h o won his match with the score 6-4, 2-6, 9-7. All the team played good games but Holderness had a slightly better team. That Saturday, May 12, the Proctor team went to Brooks School but didn't do too well there either. They lost 7-2. Weld and Bunim won their doubles match 6-2, 3-6, 8-6. Dudley Clark and Chase Nixon won their match 9-7, 6-2. Even though w e didn't win the boys acquired quite a lot of valuable experience. After a full week of practice the team determined to win the next match so when they got to Tilton they outdid themselves and brought home a 9-0 win.
Captain Weld, Clark, Bunim and Nixon went down to the N e w England Interscholastics on May 18 but didn't do too well against some of the top school tennis players in the East. They all had a good time and gained much from the trip. The last game of the season was a heart breaker. O n May 26 the Concord High team came to Proctor and beat us 7-2. Everyone lost his singles but WeldClark and Coues-Churchill won their doubles 6-4, 7-5â&#x20AC;&#x201D;6-1, 6-3 respectively. The J.V. team played some hard matches and had a very successful season under the able leadership of Capt. Spencer Jackson. The team won three out of five of their matches. The two most coveted matches, those with Holderness, were won handily by the Proctor team. Proctor also won from the N e w Hampton J.V.'s, but lost to the Kimball Union J.V.'s and to the Laconia High School Varsity. Throughout the season Captain Spencer Jackson and Dick Oppenheimer played steady tennis and were the mainstays of the team. A lot of credit goes to Mr. Hatt and Mr. Poulin for the time they spent out on the courts coaching and rubbing off some of their skill on the players.

The Proctor Players T h e Proctor Players assembled one evening in the latter part of the fall for the purpose of choosing the play that they were to put on for the year. After m u c h discussion, Eugene O'Neil's "The Emperor Jones" was suggested and agreed upon. "The Emperor Jones" was indeed an ambitious undertaking. T h e very fact that the Players did produce it as successfully as they did is in itself proof of the enthusiasm, organization, and just plain willingness to work of the members. But no play can be successful without two essential elements: talent and direction. T h e former was evident in the acting and in the excellent scenery design. Special mention should be m a d e of the acting of Dick Cramer and T o m Sharp-
less w h o did magnificent jobs in the lead roles. T h e directing of a play cannot be fully appreciated by any but those w h o are in it. M r . Peter C a m p and Mr. Barrett coached the actors and supervised the stage crew, while Mrs. Barrett directed the painting of the scenery. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Peter C a m p were invaluable in getting together costumes and helping with make-up. Bill Gilmore (President of the Players) s u m m e d everything up w h e n he said: "It was a terrific experience and a great time." Already plans have been made for next year. T h e Players have decided to present "The Remarkable M r . Pennypacker" and they plan also to get together more often to read plays and to practice techniques.

Hail to Westmount O n October 24th, for the sixth time, the Proctor Academy Football Team left for Montreal on a Boston and Maine bus, to play the annual football game with our friendly rival, Westmount High School. The team arrived that afternoon and was introduced to the hosts and hostesses. Everybody enjoyed the wonderful Fall Dance put on by Westmount and afterwards had an enjoyable week-end ending on Monday morning with the football game, which w e won 7-5. Proctor, which had the advantage of playing under American rules during thefirsthalf, wasted no time in sending Bill Gilmore over for a touchdown in the firstfiveminutes of the game. As the Westmount defense stiffened, this was by no means a preview of what was to come. Both teams threatened in the second quarter, but the score still remained 7-0 at the half. In the second half under Canadian
rules, Westmount, with their superb running attack, completely outplayed Proctor. The Canadians threatened numerous times, but the Big Green with spirit equal to the occasion, yielded only one touchdown. After the game, the Doug Smaill Memorial Trophy was presented to Allen Quimby, Acting Captain on behalf of Fred Johnson for the Proctor team. Holding up the tradition, the Westmount ski team came to Proctor with a mixed team of girls and boys accompanied by Miss Macmillan. Both teams spent a good part of Saturday and Sunday on our slopes which had a very good covering of snow. The skiing was excellent, possibly the best this year. Westmount left Proctor and headed back to Canada on Sunday, thus ending the 1955-1956 exchange of visits between our Canadian friends and us. May these visits always continue!

// you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream — and not make dreams your master; If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors fust the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of'pitcb-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, And — which is more — you'll be a Man, my son!
